The only thing `mini` about Dr. Burgess`s Mini-Atlas of Marine Aquarium Fishes is in its title. At almost a thousand pages and containing more than 1900 full-color photos, this book is big in size and value by any objective standard. The `mini` part of the title results only from the existence of the larger Dr. Burgess`s Atlas of Marine Aquarium Fishes, the standard identification reference work in the field. Additionally, it contains a large (256 pages) section devoted to the setup and maintenance of marine aquaria. The fishes shown are indexed by both scientific and popular names for ease of reference.
